Sheryl Woodhouse-Keese Discusses Eco-Friendly Paper

Sheryl Woodhouse-Keese, founding artist and president of Twisted Limb Paperworks, originally from Chicago, studied music and sociology in New Orleans before spending 6 years as a naturalist and historical interpreter in Wyoming, Michigan, Montana, Nevada and Arkansas. On the suggestion of a friend, she began making paper in Montana to complement her calligraphy and avid letter writing. As an environmentalist, she welcomed a way to do her part in reducing the endless stream of waste pouring into our landfills. (All of Twisted Limb's paper is 100% recycled.) Sheryl began Twisted Limb Paperworks in 1998 after moving to Bloomington, Indiana, ending a 21 year sabbatical from the paper business. She began her career at age 9, selling handmade stationery surprise packages to her sisters for 5 cents each. Though her prices have had to change over the years, Sheryl's love of paper has not.
